FOREWORD 



For almost three years the Great World War had been raging across the waters. 
On April 6th, 191 7 the news was flashed to Norman County and the world that the 
United States had thrown herself into the greatest conflict of all ages. 

For almost three \ears we, the people of Norman Count\ had been peacefully 
going about our peacetime labors, almost ignoring the great struggle j,000 miles away. 
In an instant, on this beautiful day in April, 191 7, we were at once plunged into this 
awful carnage. Little did we think that before it was finished sixty-three of our boys 
would pay the supreme sacrifice and give their lives in the trenches, in the waters' of 
the ocean and in camps where the grim reaper stalked in the form of awful pestilence 
that broke out seemingly as a punishment to man for his wickedness. Little did we 
think that more than 800 of our boys would be called to the great struggle. 

Of the splendid arm\ of the L^nited States that eventually turned the tide ot 
battle and brought peace again to the war torn world more than 800 were our o\\ n 
home boys and young women from Norman County who fought and trained in 
every arm of the United States Forces — dough boy, artillerymen, marine, aviator, sail- 
or and nurse they all brought glory to their Count) and Country. While the} were 
gone to fight the battles of their country let us not forget the work of the home folks, 
the endless hours spent in knitting for their comfort, the soliciting for the Red Cross 
and Liberty Loan and other war activities. 

That this magnificient record of Norman County in I'he ^Vorld AVar may he 
set down for the future generations to read, that the work of Norman Countys' 800 
or more fighting men may receive the credit that is due them, that the sixty-three 
||;[j who gave their li\es may be fittingly memorialized so that the memories ot their 

sacrifice will not quickh' grow dim in memory, this work is prepared. If we have made 
errors or omissions we hope they may be kindly overlooked with the realization of 
|i||j the huge task that was ours. The editors have used e\ery possible means to get the data 

and have been \ery careful to use nothing but first hand information as they have 
realized what a imposition on the community it would be to be careless in the accurac\ 
of the subject matter of this book. If the magnitude of the task can be realized bv our 
critics we feel that the criticism ma\- be 1 educed to a minimum.

TALES Fl.'oM THE BATTLE FRONT. 

Stories lioiii tlie lips and pen of Xoniiiiii County ])oys who were in the 

thick (if the liniitint'- or who had exccplinnally tlirilling 

experiences elsewhere. 

OXK ol'' Folin'KKxX MEX LEFT FlloM A CO.Mi'AXY. 

CONRAD MELUERd of .Ida tells iif his experiences at Belleau 
Woods. 

( >ui' ciiiiipiuiy had heeii l> iiiu in reserve ail day of Jnne 13tii. That 
ninlit we were to rcHeve the hoys in the front lines in J^x-Hean Woods 
near Ciiatean Tiiierry. Jnst as we got orders to move np front, tiie 
Germans began a concentrated bombardment of gas shells. We were 
in the woods and it was pitch dark. Our mess sargent had brought 
down a gooil hot meal as we liad had notiiing warm to eat for 14 days. 
We Hned up for chow even tliongli tiie shells wei'e Hying fast around 
us and we had our gas masks on. 1 was the sixtli man in line when a 
gas sliell exploded killing one of t!ie men and spoiling all of the food. 

We couldn't stM' ten feet witii our gas imisks on so we couldn't 
get out of the woods. 'I'he lluns had us in a trap, ^^'e got orders to lie 
down where we were imt in a fi'w minutes that seemed like ages, we 
got orders that relief ha<l to i>e made. It was useless to try it \\'ith our 
gas masks on but it was also a case of get out of that shell tire or l)e 
killed. Most of the boys on either side of me were already killed or 
wounded. We took oil" our masks and lint-d up single file, took ahold of 
the pack of the man ahead of ns and then the Captain started to lead us 
out. It would have l)een all i-ight but a shell hit the line and l)roke it 
about twenty men behind the Captain. Fourteen men reached the 
front line about a mile u]i. I was one of the fourteen. 

It was then about 5 o'clock A. ^I., and we were told to crawl into a 
hole and sleej). And we did until about S a. m., when some of the boys 
woke np and found that the gas had hlindecl them, so the.v were sent 
back to the hospital. My eyes were sore hut I could ojjen them enough 
to see. There was a large ])ile of trench lu-ead lying nearby, so as T 
was starved I ate about half a loaf Iw'fore I noticed that it was liadly 
gassed \\\\\\ mustard. Six of us then volunteered to carry ammunition 
up to the extreme front line about half a mile further up. We iiad to 
hurry and also be very careful of the (xerman machine gunners and 
snipers. When we got back four of the boys went to the hospital. T 
f(>ll the effects of the gas then but thoiight it would wear off. I stood 
it until about ') :,'50 P. M., when I had to go l)ack. 

RlClJAItn STONIlERrr frtJs nf thr Marines. 

If your wildest inuigination coidd picture a Imnch of hilarious 
soldiers when word was passed that tlu- Ai-mistice would take place at 
n o'clock, all you could hear was a continual yell all through the 
woods, wherever soldiers wei'c located. One hy one the guns fired their 
last shell and the sounds of war Ix'gan to cease. At 11 o'clock every- 
thing was (piiet. It was such a change that we couldn't hardly realize 
it, after two weeks of the hardest campaigning that we had lu'cn 
through. We had cold, disnnd weather all of the time, so we were all 
drenched, and ]\o fires wei'e allowed. The woods jjresented some ap- 
pearance that night. There were great bon fires every ten yards ami 
candles were lit and rockets were shot up and everybody was as happy 
as a lark. The next day we moved into town and the Germans began 
])idling out.

DAVID BOWEX tells of the march tlnoiif/h Beh/inui. 

This last drive we had a peach of a barrage and we hugged it 
close and caught Heinie before he had any chance to do any dirty work 
with his machine guns, but the Heinie artillery kept on firing point 
blank at us until they were captured or shot at their guns by riHes and 
grenade fire. My division kept on chasing the Huns and tlie morning 
the Armistice was signed we started over the top again and had a few 
casualties from shell fire. We rested a few days and early on th^" 
morning of the 17th we started hiking toward Germany making about 
20 kilos and stopped about 3 o'clock in a French village with only a 
few inhabitants left liy the Germans. The following morning we 
passed into Belgium and it sure feels good to be away fi'om the liat- 
tle fields and shell wrecked villages. "We passed through many Belgian 
villages with our band plapng and our Colors flying and believe me 
the people were glad to see us. All their liouses and trees were decor- 
ated with flags and flowers and they cheered us as we marched by. 
Now we are close on Heinle's heels for we just left this town day before 
yesterday. 

SAYS THE MARINES STOPPED THE HUNS. 

A short interview ivith Lieutenant Col. John A. Hughes, of the sixth 
Marines, will interest our people, as he ivas in the same regi- 
ment of Marines as the Ada hoys. An intervieiver ivrites: 

"Nothing that anybody can say can convey a definite conception 
of the bravery of the? Marines," said Lieutenant Colonel John A. 
Hughes of the 6th Marines who was wounded twice in the leg and who 
wears the French war medal and the D. S. C. A German prisoner told 
me it was freely admitted by his officers that it was the Marines who 
prevented the Germans from getting to Paris. It was at St. Mihiel 
that I got banged up but I have nothing to kick about. The soldier 
knows what to expect. AVhat did I get decorated for? Well, I sup- 
pose I did do something or other, but I'll lie l)lamed if I know what it 
was. ' '

PRACTICE WORK OF AN ADA AVIATOR. 

EBLING NORBY tells hoiv machine gun bullets tear holes in para- 
chutes as flyers dive through clouds. 

"I start my days work somewhat as follows: Whir-r-r, Z-O-O-M, 
and with a roar and a cloud of dust my bus blimps down the field and 
takes the air. Climbing at a steep angle, ap 5,000 ; 10,000 ; twelve now 
fifteen thousand feet. My altimeter tells me I am out of sight of the 
observers on the ground, or at most but a mere sj^eck in the air. I 
now release my parachute, Avhicli at my height cannot be seen from 
below, but before it has dropped 100 feet I swerve and dive for it, my 
gun spitting in short volleys which are heard on the ground long after 
I have stopped shooting; but as soon as I have fired I go into a side slip, 
for my parachute is my enemy, and I bank and dive for it again and the 
staccato notes of the machine gun can be heard below as I riddle my 
imaginery foe. 

"Now a wandering cloud comes up and hides both my plane and 
the parachute; the watchers below scan the cloud; suddenly the para- 
chute drops thru the mist. I nose dive for it and the gun sends in 
spit vollevs. Another machine has now taken the air and when well up 



gP lets loDsi! a sleeve target. This target is two feet in diameter and 1(> 

SI 1 feet long, trailed heiiind on a l20() ft. line. As it jogs along at KJO miles 

il an hour another shij) appears al)o\c it and the tai'get practice begins. 

::;B "As the lead ship darts here and there we play fur position to get 

JU on the trailing target; diving, swerving, and the gnns spitting wheu- 

ISij ever the target presents a nuuk; round and ronnd, loojiing the loop, 

nose-diving and other slants in acrobatcy, our ships go on niitil the 
machine gnn maiiiizines have been ein])tied, when ihe target is di'opped 
an<l examined for hits. 

"The \\(irk in the air is di\ided into seNcral parts, each one as 
sjiectacnlar and important as the other. The jjarachnte target whicji 
the aviator looses and then attacks, affords every opportunity for 
every evolution and thru these evolutions he learns never to lose sight 
of his opixment and the holes found in these targets when tiiey llutter 
to earth give a startling idea of the elliciency developed in this Ijranch 
of lighting. To the observer this type of practice reveals the speed 
of the air ships and the quickness of hand and eye bred into the young 
aviator and the sharj) re])ort of the nuichine guns, is more than the 
touch of realism, for it is a game with a deadly i)U''pose and the airmen 
are registering a high percentage of hits." 

DAVID [!()]]■ i:.\ H-illi lltr "Shock r loops." 

We have been in another drive an<l I have gone over the top a 
coujile of times since I last wrote, and I call myself pi'etty lucky for 
])ulling through without a scratch. I was comidetely l)nried with ilirt 
from a big shell. I innnediately got into a hole and waiteil my time 
because Heinie has a way of following shots by a few others. We did- 
n't have trenches to light in, but it was all oi)en warfare. When we 
reacheil our objective we pulletl out oui' little shovels and liegan dig- 
ging and the sooner we got below the le\'el of the gi'onml th(> less 
chance we had of getting hit and belic\-e me when a dozen of machine 
guns are picking up the dirt around yon and pla\ ing a tune like a 
heav\ rain on a tin roof, it doesn't take long to get down a couple of 
feet. This last ])lace we had limestone I'ock to ilig in but we went 
thru it just as if it was clay. .\ fellow dius a hoie just big enough to 
lay in and throws Ihe dirt up all around the edges to sto]) the bullets 
and shell fragments. 

But e\'en lleinie's best troops eonldn't stop us when we stalled. 
^fy battalion I'eacheil onr days olijectixe inside of three hours. We were 
cited again Imt we don't give a d n alxmt tlu^s" citations what we 
want is )>ay day and liberty. 

Fall is coming on and the weather is getting pretty frosty. We 
sure felt it up in the line without blankets and overcoats, excejit what 
we got from Ileinie or salvaged from tho doughboys. I salvaged a 
TTcinie's pack and got a couple of blankets so was pretty well off. 
Some of the fellows were running aroun<l with TTeiuie's overcoats on 
and a cou])le more are still wearing lleinie's shoes and leggings. We 
had ten days of Tlell up there and were sure glad yet felt sorry for 
the bunch of doughboys that relieved us. Such is the life of shock 
troops.

JORIS NORBY'S thriUinrj cj-pcnour:^ intli oilier Marines. 

After going over the top seven times in tliree months I find my- 
self laid up in the hospital Mitli a hum left arm, struck hy a piece of 
Boche high explosive shell. Our out lit went over the top at the zero 
hour of '2-A-') in the morning. We drove the Huns back all day until 
ten that night. \Ve lost heavily during the day and had to stop ; the 
Boche started a heavy counter attack and sun'ounded us. After 
desperate fighting we got them all to one side of us again, but they 
soon came Imck arm in arm in mass fornuition and had us tra]jped. 
About 1:120 the Boche got a direct hit on my gun position with a •whizz- 
bang, which put my machine gun out of conmiission and, I aui sorry 
to say, the fellows also around me. My arm stopped one piece headed 
for my face but didn't get there. The watch you gave me stopped an- 
other piece, only a few l)its of it were left; my trench mirror stopped 
another piece and my cigarette ease anothei', so \'ou can see why I con- 
sider myself lucky. 

It gives me a strange but jjeaceful satisfaction as \ lay here, to 
know I did my best before I went down and out. ( )n the Champagne 
f]"0ut where I was wounded, in, my last hand to hand encounter, I got 
seven Boches with my Colts automatic. The Bodies were putting over 
a counter attack in mass formation. I was liehind my machiiu^ gun 
and I know that all my training had not been in vain. So why should I 
not be a bit satisfied? If I had been wounded liehind tin- hues it would 
have been different. 

I still think that if a man comes out of that death hole unwcninded 
and without pneumonia he must be charmed. As far as that goes T 
guess we all bear charmed lives. When you remember that a machine 
gun man is re(|uired to keep up with the infantry, picture to yourself a 
• man walking along carryi)ig a ))ig iron tripod or machine gun on his 
shoulder and what a big target he is for the snipers. 

We went over in support of the first wave. In July at the Ma rue, 
at Bheims and Soissons it was bad enough, but in all the many battles 
I have gone thru, we here ran into more rear guard Boche machine 
gun nests than at any other front, so of course our casualties were very 
heavy. AVell we went a little too far and too fast. The Hanks were not 
kept open and soon we had Boches on all four sides. By this time there 
were only four men left in my com]iany liesides myself, and the officers 
had all been killed. I think if it hadn't been for our major, our morale 
would have blown up right there, but he was a game one believe me. 
He collected what little food we had and all the water. He issued these 
each night after dark as long as they lasted. We had no medical aides 
witli us and he took on that job also. The Boche sent over a flag of 
truce demanding a surrender, but the major said, "To H**l with you 
come and get us." He sure w^as splendid. By the third day we knew 
we had Ijecome lost in the advance with little prospects of being lo- 
cated and our troops breaking tliru to our relief. 

If you can imagine lying in a hole two feet wide, six feet long, 
and about six inches deep all day long for four days, you have an 
idea of what it was like. I didn't get a scratch until the last day. 

We soon saw the Huns were getting ready to mop us up. We felt 
the end had come as we usually do before going over. They came over 
in mass formation and as I sat behind my gun waiting the shock, I re- 
solved that for every kilometer I had hiked in France a Boche should 
bite the dust; and as I whipped and swept that gun back and forth 
across their line it sure did me good to watch them drop. Suddenly

I sui)pose you have reail in the papers abdul tlie new (Jerman of-

counter-attaoke<l an<l drove them back seven miles on a US-mile fi-ont. 
The Germans thoug'ht that then' were no A)nei-icans over here, but 
they know it now. They think we are armed with shot ,i>uus: they say 
we are not fair, but when they bomb hospitals it's all ri.<>ht. They will 
eirele around a hospital and spot tiu' best jilace to drop a bomb and let 
her go wishing it would kill every ))afient m the hospital. Well, they 
are going to suffer for it, you just wait and see. Believe me the Freneli 
are doing great fighting after so many years of hardslii))s. They have 
more eoufidenee in themselves now than ever before. The .\uierieans 
are also fighting some now; will tell you a little e\i)erieuee. We went 
over the toj) and we got to the liermans; cuie .\mericau would Jump 
ahead of the other in order to kill the (ieinian first. The (Jermaus 
are sure afraid of tiie cold steel. 

ll.WS a.iRXh'SS' experience 

We had a tine trip to Fi'anee from lieginninii' to end; in the states 
by rail ami also on the boat 

This is a great country, so old-fashioned in every respect. Every- 
thing is fenccil in either witli earthen or stone walls and the farms 
are little bits of things. If >(iu turn around (piiek you are off the farm, 
and believe me every inch is in use. even the walls being covered with 
fruit Itearing vines and the pe()])1e here are very old-fashioned in all 
their ways and dress. ()id and young wear wooden shoes in this part 
of the country, sonu' of the shoe> are bigger tluui the kids that weai' 
them. Nevertheless they are a jolly lot and seem to take all of theii- 
country's tr(Uibles as cheerful as possible and I surely admii'e their 
spirit. 

\'ou Just lea\c it to the good old I'. S. A. She is doing the work 
now or helping to ilo it and when she gets throiigh, there will lie at 
least three coiinti'ies that will respect her fighting (|ualities.

ehaiuu'l which was lined on both sides l)y coral reefs. Tt is imjiossibh' 
for the transports to dock here because of the shallow water and nar-

boat. 

At Pede we were loaded on ,uito trucks and taken out about three

weeks. It was ai'my cliow on the transport and no])ody 1)ut army men 
can eat it. 

The weather here is grand, with a nice cool ocean breeze blowing 
all of the time, with lots of good sea water to bathe in and lots of co- 
coanuts and bananas to be had for the picking and nothing to do but 
eat, sleep and get sun burned. We probably will be kept in the deten- 
tion camps for two or three weeks liefore being transferred to our re- 
spective regiments, but I am sure that it will be a time of pleasure for 
most of us. 

P^rom what 1 can hear and see of the Island, I am sure the short 
time which I will serve here will be well spent, with the exception of a 
few minor distractions such as fleas, ants, centipedes wild l)easts, deer 
and other animals. I expect to be greatly benefitted by my stay here. 
On Thanksgiving day, Nov. 29th, we got such a big feed that it was 
painful. We had practically everything that we have at lionie on that 
day but our friends and rehitives wiiom we all missed. 

It being a holiday we did nothing but loaf around. We cleaned 
our camp today, cutting the big weeds around the tents, etc. We have to 
work about an hour or so each day to keep from getting lazy, and 
stand duty when our turn comes, which is about four hours every four 
days. 

We landed in Honolulu on the nmrning of the 14th of Nov. AVe 
sure were a glad bunch that morning to see land once more. We stayed 
in Honolulu that day and we all went asliore to visit the city. It is 
a very beautiful j)lace. The mountains are greeii with oranges, ban- 
anas and cocoanuts. There are lots of white people there. We sailed 
the next day at noon. The band came down and played for us as we 
moved slowly out of the harbor and then we cut loose amid the shouts 
and farewells of weeping mothers and lieartbroken sweethearts.

I'll describe what a "kick" over here really is. Night is fast fall- 
ing and Fritz has sounded "taps" in his usual way liy sending over a 
few big ones, mixed in with a couple of gas shells. We duck down into 
our holes, cuss a little and don our evil g-as masks. The breeze gradual- 
ly blows the clouds of poiscm away and we run out of our holes, remove 
oi;r masks and take a dee]) l)reath of pure air again. Dusk has come 
and the order to "stand to" comes down the line. We draw up our 
service belts a hitch, fix our bayonets and gaze out over No Man's 
Land and wonder what Fritz has up his sleeve this night. 

The darkness grows deeper, a water detail comes stealing noise- 
lessly along and takes our canteens to get ns our next day's water sup- 
ply. Off to the left the first star shell goes up and we gaze intently out 
into the evening mist to see if there is anytliing doing, Imt all is as still 
as death. Our brave old "Skipper" comes down along the line and 
whispers a word of precaiition and tells us to be especially watchful 
between twelve and two for then Fritz is expected to attack. (A 
prisoner had given it away.) He passes on and we breathe a word of 
thanks that we have such a man as a leader.

hours to cross a field about 6UU yards wide. It seemed that every 
time we would advance that the place we luid just left would be blown 
right up into the air; jaieces of shrapnel hit my helmet and ripped 
through my clothes and one piece tore a chunk out of my pants, and I 
got a gash across the back of my hand from a piece of casing broken 
off from my machine gun; l)elieve me, I never want to go through an- 
other battle like that. Entire companies of Marines next to us went 
over the top and considered themselves lucky if they returned with 
a tenth of their men. Richard Storberg and I were the only two Ada 
i\Jarines to Inick the line in this battle after Ervin was killed. 

LUMAN TENNEY trlls nf life in the Ambulance Corps. 

I "ftdsh you could hear the sputter of the mitrailleuses (machine 
guns) that are now shooting their hail of lead over my head to the bat- 
teries on the opposite hill. The hills are about 200 yards apart and 
between is a valley which re-echoes and resounds with the noise. The 
French rapid fire guns make you think of rag time in music, when 
compared to the sound of the German guns which is quite classical 
Avith a steadier hum, that rises or lowers, not unmusically, according 
to the rapidity of the fire. The French is quite staccato, and has a 
harsh sound, rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, — rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, while 
the Germans go tat, tat, tat, tat, A\ith no interruptions. This is ac- 
counted for by the fact that the Boche gun can be swung evenly to all 
points of the compass while firing, but the French have to fire a few 
shots in a straight line, then jerk the gun over a slight ways and fire 
again, which gives it the rythmic sound. 

We are situated right below the French first line on the siile of the 
hill, where we can't 1)e touched liy a high explosive and they're very 
lucky to get at us ^dth shrapnel. Our side of this hill is like a lot of 
ra1)l)its burrows, and I suppose it is the same on the other side of the 
hill where the Germans, are, about twenty-five yards away. 

Considering where we are, today has been one of action. A sur- 
prise attack was sprung on the Boche which resulted in tlie taking of 
seven prisoners and getting rid of a lot of ammunition and energy. 

Two new men came out from Paris to fill up tlie vacancies left l)y 
those who were chosen for the officers' school, O'Connell and Sinclair. 
Sinclair comes from Minneapolis, is a University of Minnesota foot- 
ball star. He has a pretty goo<l case of homesickness on. It happened 
that he and I were placed on duty at I^a H — . So we left at 10 a. m., 
with me leading. Bemiy in the "consultant's" car next and Sinclair 
last. About three quarters of Ihe way liere, I had just turned the 
corner that takes ns through V — . a little shell destroyed town, when 
"wholozoz" (to indicate whistling o* a shell) came a "105" a couple of 
feet over my head and explodes about 20 yards beyond. I got a little 
dirt, no shrapnel, and a good scare (every time you hear a shell com- 
ing, yon get a scare, though it be the millionth one you've heard). 
Well I stepped on the accelerator (figuratively speaking) and shot 
through the rest of the toA\ai very, very fast. I got out to the "poste" 
wdth very Uttle other excitement and had got fixed up by the time Ben- 
ny and Sinclair had come in. Benny wasn't quite as lucky as I and 
had just stopped by one when the shell went off. The "eclat" put 
several small holes in his car, ripped off his Klaxon (about a foot to 
one side of Benny) and slashed up a tire. Well, Sinclair got the bene- 
fit of all our escapes and thought he had had enough for his first day on 
duty, but the introduction wasn't quite complete, and so a shrapnel or 
two had to Imrst on our side of the hill and make us beat it for the

We played the champion French team of this army at soccer (a 
kind of football) the otiier day. "We" means tlie combination of

Another lad (which liapixMicd to be ( )rni from Ada) and I started 
out to find a watei- detail tliat had been gone for ai)out fifteen hours and 
we got lost in the wooils. The shrapnel shells were l)Ui'sting around us 
ami we could not tell where our own lines were, .-o fearing we would 
run into the P>oche lines, wc just sat down and waited till the bonibai'd- 
iiient had eased up a little. What do you suppose I diil .' I'nlled out 
my tobacco and "tnml)led np a dizzy." 

We have just gone through fifteen days of liell. (lot lots of 
prisoners and nuichine guns and then turned the guns on the Boches 
across the lines. We went 4S hours on a (piart of water and ))ractically 
nothing to eat and there was something doing all the time. The Boclie 
put a ban-age over us from 12 to 1 at night and then repeated the next 
morning with another one from 4 to '). I never Avill forget that night, 
foi- life was not worth nuicii, lying in a hole about three feet deep, but 
I came out all O. K. The next night they shot gas shells in on us for 
11' four hours and that stulf is hell. 1 tell you no one can tell me what war 

is like now, for I know all about it. 

I We imt in seven days where it was almost impossible to get food 

I and water. No blankets, just lay on the dani)) ground and tlu' nights 

were cool enough to chill one to the bone. I did not have my shoes off 
for seventeen days, so you can see what we were up against.

old town. When 1 get back 1 will come np and board with yon for 
awhile and tell vou all aboid it. Wm see I expect to come back. After 
living tlirn that barrage that night I believe God is Avith me. We all 
prayed the best we knew how, for it seemed like sure death. The Boche 
started across that morning but did not come far. The French ]ieo- 
ple think the marines are little Gods, for they say we saved Paris. We 
sure stop|)ed them and then drove them back. Whenever you get them 
in a tight place, they conu' with hands np, calling, "mercy, mercy, 
comrade.'' The nmrines had tried to take these woods a few days ago 
and wluMi we went thru, the dead nu'u's shoes had been taken of¥ by 
the Germans.

We are going to win tliis war, no (juestion in nw mind and I 
think there will he very few prisoners (American) taken. I know in 
our outfit we will fight as long as we have got life. These woods we 
took are sure shot up. Trees a foot through are cut olf. Shell holes 
15 feet deep are conmion. The prisoners we took are mostl.v all young 
lads, a few old heads among them. One that was wounded cried for his 
mother. Over here one sure gets to see the pitiful part of the war. 

When we were being brought in to stop the Boehe, you could see 
old men, and women, little children leaving their homes, as the Boche 
were driving the French ahead of them. Old women, that were gray 
headed, walking! It makes a fellow feel like fighting. 

CONRAD MELBERG tells ivhai fhc Germans thinh of the Marines. 

You must know by now that we marines gave the Boche hell — 
wiped out three of their best divisions and crippled two more. The 
prisoners we got said they have never seen such fighters as the IT. S. 
Marines. They called us regular fire eaters. The French say we 
are the Saviors of Paris and call us the Green Devils. A marine in 
Paris is in "Jake." I don't know when I'll be able to go back to 
trench duty, possibly in two weeks oi' maybe two or three months, 
maybe not at all. It all depends on what develops during the next 
week or two. My eyes and lungs are ([uite sore. 

ALLAN GILBERT writes his umther pr(tisin<i the Y. M. C. A. 

"With the Y. M. C. A. at our disposal and the general morale of 
the U. S. army, you need not w^orry about my conduct. Our captain is 
a splendid num and we all respect him highly. I want you to keep up 
courage, and when the world is safe for democracy, we will come back 
home to live in peace and happiness. Until then there will he many 
lonely nights for l)oth you and I and the rest of the family. However, 
we are wishing for the l)est and thanking God that America is able to 
help the Belgians and French and the allied nations." 

HENRY IKE irrites about France. 

Arrived in France w^ell and happy and enjoyed the trip very ijiuch. 
This is some country, just like Minnesota, rain and sunshine at the 
same time. The people seem to be very nice here. Most of them wear 
wooden shoes and they sure look good. I wish I had a pair. The farms 
are not very large. I haven't seen a wheat field yet, but the gardens 
are sure fine. Coming over we had the Y. M. C. A. right with us. Had 
good liooks to read and Sundays we went to church. The Y. M. C. A. 
are doing more for the soldiers that I ever thought they did. 

CHARLES BOWEN tells of pidUnn doirn the Red Flaf/. 

This is the fourth day since peace has been declared and they are 
still celebrating. I must say I had my share of celebrating. A crowd 
of us jackies started about i o'clock Monday morning and kept the fun 
up until Tuesday night. Everything closed in New York except the 
saloons and hotels. You should have seen Broadw^ay and Fifth Ave. 
The largest crowd of people I will ever see and every one was playing 
games, singing and yelling. When they heard the good news here 
every ship in port started blowing their whistles and they kept it up all 
day long. I never heard as much noise before. 

Every workman along the docks refused to work for two days and 
we all joined in with them. The city was in the hands of the men in 
uniform. I slept in one of the iiest hotels in New' York on Monday

THE HISTORY OF NORMAN COUNTY CHAPTER RED CROSS. 

Reviewing the work of the two years from April, 191 7, to April, 1919, we find 
that the time and labor expended in Red Cross activities produced surprising results, 
not only in actual output of supplies, but also in what it,' has meant to the community 
and the individual. They learned the value of co-operation, the importance of dis- 
cipline and the grace and beauty of sacrifice.. 

The women of Norman County were anxious to organize a chapter as soon as 
the American Red Cross sent its call for workers throughout the United States. 

The Women's Civic League of Ada instructed it's President, Mrs. \V. B. Holmes, 
to communicate with the Northern Division Headquarters in regard to organizing 
a Red Cross Chapter. The reply discouraged the idea of forming a chapter but advised 
Ada to affiliate with the nearest organization. 

The Women's Civic League in Ada and also the women in other towns in the 
county decided to take up Red Cross work under the instructions from headquarters 
and await further developments. Meetings were held in every town in the county. 
The rural districts were reached through the local press, by individual letters and 
personal visits. 

At patriotic meetings held at Ada, Twin Valley, Halstad, Hendrum, Perley, 
Shelly, Borup, and other places the importance of the Red Cross work was duly 
emphasized, so when Norman County Red Cross Chapter organized early in August 
every town and village in the county was ready to form its particular local branch 
to carry on the great work. 

The Norman County Chapter of the Red Cross was formally organized on 
August 6th, 191 7, and By-Laws adopted at the next meeting held on August 17th, 
191 7. The following branches and Auxiliaries had been organized at date of the 
Chapter annual meeting held October iith, igi8:

NORMAN COUNTY 






•-an 

m 

i 



The main income of tlie Twin \'alle\ Hranch was the proceeds of the Red Cross 
Sale amounting to $3,987.88. The proceeds of other contributions to the branch 
were $2,512.12. The Twin Valley Branch donated $245. 65 to the Norman Coun- 
ty Red Cross Public Health Association. The surplus fund from this branch for 
tiie use of headquarters was $2,688.70. The total gross receipts of the Twin Valley 
Hranch was about $6,500.00. The branch woriced for 17 months, had 53 meetings, 
knitted 1,075 pairs of socks, 372 sweaters, 60 pair slips, 37 mufflers, 10 sheets, 25 
hand towels, 64 dozen bandages. 

Mrs. W. B .Holmes, County Vice-Chairman, was very successful in organizing 
and pushing the local Red Cross work in Ada, and also with the assistance of Mrs. 
B. F. Tenney, Chairman of Women's War Work for Norman County, in arousing 
interest in all parts of the county and in assisting in the organization of the branches 
and auxiliaries. 

The membership drive in December, 191 7, was fairly successful and the one a 
year later resulted in over four thousand new and re-newal memberships. The Junior 
Red Cross in 191 8 returned a one hundred per cent membership for every school 
in the county. The campaign in June, 1917, for the first Red Cross war fund yielded 
nearly Five Thousand dollars. In May, 1918, Fifteen Thousand, Two Hundcrd 
and Twenty-seven dollars were contributed for the second war fund. 

The general policy of the County Executive Committee was to leave the de- 
tails and policy of each branch to the local organizations, except as instructions and 
suggestions were directed or strongly recommended by headquarters. The branch- 
es were largelv financed by the proceeds of auction sales of contributed articles. 
These aroused great interest in each community and not only brougiit generous sums 
of money to the local treasuries but greatly increased the membership and enthusiasm. 

The principal sales brought in the following sums of money to the respective 
Branches and xAuxih'aries: — 



Gary i 2,400 

Hendrum 1.275 

Perley , 846 

Twin Valley - - 4,000 



Ada $2,600 

Borup 2,300 

Halstad 2,202 

Lockhart i. 5-1-2 

Shelly __ 302 

Another source of revenue was a Home Talent play, which was put on eleven 
times in or near the county and netted Six Hundred dollars. Patriotic addresses were 
given by local men and by men of note from outside, at Red Cross meetings through- 
out the county in connection with the drives for funds and memberships, as well as 
at the sales. The school committee under Mrs. I. J. Boraas, assisted by Mrs. Ida 
Rud Falconer, Countv Superintendent of Schools, was practically efficient in or- 
ganizing the Junior Red Cross in every school in the county. 

At Ada, tile County seat, where the soldier boys of the county entrained for their 
training camps, each group, on the evening of their departure, was served with a 
supper by the Red Cross, and entertained, when practicable, with music and farewell 
patriotic addresses by local speakers. 

The surgical dressing class was organized in May, 191 8, with the following 
officers 

Miss Anna Amundson Chairman 

Miss Ethel Benneth Secretary 

Miss Clarice Pfund Instructor 

Ninety-eight members were enrolled, fifty-two receiving Red Crosses. Nine 

thousand, three hundred and fifteen dressings were completed.

THE LIBERTY LOAN DRIVES. 

Almost $2,000,1100 subscribed in the (i\e Liberty Loan Drives. 

Of all the home activities, perhaps none were more important than the Liberty 
Loan Drives. The Government needed mone\ and the bonds had to be sold. Without 
the money our armies would ha\e been helpless. 

The first issue of Liberty Bonds drew only three and one-half per cent interest. 
The sale of these bonds took place in June. 191 7. The county was not orznnired n^ i'

was in the later Liberty Loan Bond Drives and the sale was handled mostly through 
the banks. iVIr. A. L. Hanson was county chairman and $29,000 worth were sold 
which was the allotment for this county. 

The second bond sale came in the fall of 191 7 and was also in charge of Mr. A. 
L. Hanson. There was considerable speaking and several public meetings held at 
this time but there was not the personal canvassing done and manv people were not 
asked to subscribe. $165,000 worth of bonds were sold at this time. 

The third Liberty Loan Drive came early in the spring of 191 8. D. C. Jones of 
Ada, was County Chairman and appointed a District Chairman for each county com- 
missioner's district. Every township and village in the county also had its committee 
of three or more with a chairman for the township or village. Every section was 
thoroughly organized. The names of those who acted as District Chairmen and 
solicitors in the various precincts of the county are given in the alphabetical list on 
another page of this book. Mrs. C. C. Allen of Ada, was County Chairman of the 
Ladies Liberty Loan Drive. So thoroughly was the work organized that it is doubtful 
if there were any persons in the county who were not personally solicited during the 
campaign. The result was that Norman County went over the top by more than 
$121,000. The allotment for the county was $300,000 and $421,150 was subscribel. 
There were all told 2,742 people in the county who subscribed to this loan. A great 
deal of advertising, both in the newspapers and with advertising posters was done in 
this campaign. The business men of the countv bought space in the newspapers and 
dedicated it to ad\ertising for the loan. 

The fourth Lihert\- Loan was the largest of all, but due to the fact that the 
county had been well organized for the third loan, it also went over well. Mr. M. F. 
Hanson of Gary was the County Chairman. He used the same organization as was 
used in the third loan and a good many of the committee remained the same as in that 
loan. $683, 950, or considerably more than half a million dollars was raised in this 
drive and 3,429 people subscribed to it. 

The fifth Liberty Loan which came in March, 19 19, after the war \\;as over, was 
perhaps the hardest to put over and it fell to the lot of S. E. Bergh of Halstad, to act as 
County Chairman. That he did his work well is seen by the fact that the quota was 
raised, or practicalK' so. $502,200 was raised in this loan. The slogan of this drive 
was, "Let's Finish the Job," and Norman County did its share to the end. 



!-l 



THE NORAL^N COUNTY DRAFT BOARD. 

The draft board was appointed by the president on the recommendation of the 
Governor. The board of registration, where possible, was to consist of the county 
sheriff, the county auditor and a physician. The Norman County Local Board 
therefore consisted of Sheriff P. A. Peterson, as Chairman; Count\ Auditor Fulton, 
as Secretary, and Dr. J. T. Shelland, as Examining Physician. Dr. W. B. Holmes 
was later appointed Examing Physician and C. E. Wentsel was appointed Chief 
Clerk, December ist, 191 7. 

The first duty of the local board came with the June 5tii, 191 7, registration. 
Registrars in each precinct in the county were appointed at this time to register all 
men between the ages of 21 and 31 years. The following were appointed registrars 
in the various precincts of the county : 



Bear Park, H. O. Halstengaard 
Flom, Carl Ask 
Fossum, Oscar Peterson

In this June 5th registration about 14(H) registered. Another registration day- 
was held August 24th, l<;i8, for those who had become 21 since the first registration 
and 100 registered in this county. The last registration, that of Sept. I2th, 1918, 
u-as for all between 18 and 45, not including those who had registered in the previous 
registration days. About 1800 registered at that time, m.iking the total for the county 
about 3200. 

The total number who entered the service through the local board was 445. The 
list published elsewhere in this book gives about 800 names. The additional names 
are those who had resided here and enlisted at other places, and those who were under 
age at the tiine of the first registration. 

(^f the more than .?2()0 tiiat registered only s \\ ere hn:ili\ classified as deserters 
and of the.e three eventually were in tile service. 

Perhaps none of the Local War Organizations iiail more to do nor were the 
target for more criticism than the local board. The continual strain of the work un- 
dermined the health of the Secretary, P. A. Peterson, and when the influenza epidemic 
came on in the fall of igi8 he efl la victim to the disease and died from the effects of 
the same in March, 1919. It can be truthfullv said that he gave his life in the service 
as much as anv who died in the trenches of France. 



THE I.rTHl R AN MROTHFRIIOOn DRIVE. 

The Lutheran Brotherhood was organized to see to it that the Lutheran Church 
and its influences should follow the Lutheran boys to the camps, both in the United 
States and abroad. From Feb. 22nd, 1918, the Lutheran Hrotherhood inaugurated 
a campaign to raise $750,000 to carry on its work and a sum nearly twice this amount 
was raised. 

'Fhe drive in Norman county was in charge of P. (). Onstad of .Ada, and it was 
planned to raise $5,000, and a little better than $6,000 was raised. 

WAR SANING STAMP DRIVE. 

The sale of thrift stamps did ei]u.il w iiat the (rovcrnmetit thought it would, so a 
national campaign was started to sell them with each state, county and even smaller 
divisions was assigned its cpiota. In Norman county the territory was divided into 
eleven districts \\ ith the post master of the district the chairman. The following were 
the districts and the chairman of each. 

Shelly District — Shelly X'illage and Tovvnsiiip and ,1 portion of Good Hope 
Township, with Peter Moen as Chairman. 

Halstad District — Halstad village and tow nship and a portion of .Anthonv town- 
ship, with C. O. ^L^dsen, Chairman. 

Hendrum District — Hendrum v illage and township ;mii part of Hegne township, 
with Miss Edith Marsden as chairman. 

Perley District — Pcrley N'illage, Lee township and part of Marv township, with 
A I. A. Larson as chairman. 

Horup District — Horup village and Winchester towiishp, with j. j. How en as 
chairman. 

Sy re District — Syre and Home Lake township, with H. (). I'.llefson as chair- 

Flom District — Flom township and village, with .Xiidrew Rogan as chairman, 
man. 

Twin \'alley District — Twin X'alley. Wild Rice township. Fossum township and 
part of Lake Ida and Rockwell townships. [. J. .Meighan as chairman. 

(jary District — Gary village. Strand, Waukon, Bear Park, Sundahl and parts of 
Spring Creek and Fossum townships with Halvor Lee as chairman. 

Lockhart District — Lockhart township and village, with Carl Maas as chaiman. 

Ada District — Ada, .McDonaldsville township. Green Meadow, Pleasant View 
and parts of Lake Ida. Hegne, .Xnthonv , Spring Creek townships. Jason Weather- 
head as chairman. 

Although we do not have the exact figures, we understand thatNorman county 
oversubscribed its allotment in this drive.

THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION. 

Perhaps the least thanked and most fervently cursed of all the war activities in 
Norman County was the Food Administration. This, however, was because this work 
effected every one and fe\\- realized the importance of what the Food Administration 
was trying to do. 

As Food Administrator for Norman County, E. J. Herringer of Ada, received 
little credit for his creditable performance of a public duty. In checking up the re- 
turns on flour and sugar for every family in the county of which there were about 
3.,ooo and seeing to it that each of these s.ooo families got no more nor less than 
their share, he had an enormous task. 

The work in general was a great success in this county and it is fitting that ]\Ir. 
Herringer and his helpers should receive due credit for their unselfish work. 



THE FUEL ADMINISTRATION. 

The control and distribution of fuel and other government regulations was the 
duty of the Fuel Administration in Norman Countw C. D. Simpson was the County 
Administrator and he appointed his deputies in various parts of the county. Reports 
on the coal needed and sold were made to the various officials so that the shortage 
that existed might be alleviated in the fairest possible manner. One of the activities 
of the Fuel Administration was the inauguration; of the Heatless Mondays whereby a 
large quantity of fuel was saved, and at the same time industry was not crippled to 
any appreciable extent. 

THE NORMAN COUNTY PRESS 

It would be unjust not to mention the sacrifices of a group of men who gave in 
unlimited quantities of their stock in trade, namely newspaper space. Few people 
realize that it costs anything for a newspaper man to donate a column of space in 
his paper. And yet it costs money for every column of printed matter that a news- 
paper puts out. Every newspaper in the county was called on each week to donate of 
this their stock in trade and at the same time to donate as liberally as any one else to 
the various war activities. 

The editor of this book feels that mention should be made of the generous do- 
nation of space in their papers by the following men and newspapers. Lightbourn & 
Pfund. of the Norman County Index; W. C. Lee, of the Norman County Herald; 
The Producers' Publishing Co., of the Norman County Post; The Red River Pub- 
lishing Co., of the Red River Re\iew of Hendrum ; Ray Lee, of the Twin Valley 
Times; Mr. McCadie, of the Halstad Journal, and Lewis Garden, of the Gary 
Graphic. 



THE LEGAL ADVISORY BOARD. 

The Legal Advisory Board of Norman County was appointed in December of 
191 7, when the questionnairre system of the Selective Service was adopted. The bulk 
of this work fell to the various attorneys of the county, although some was done by 
others. It was absolutely necessary that all registrants of which there were about 3,CXX) 
in the county, should have some assistance in filling out their questionnaires. Al- 
though many persons outside of the legal profession assisted in this work, mention can 
be made this time of the attorneys onh . Credit is due to the firm of Hetland and Het- 
land, Brattland & McLaughlin, Stearns & Strom, Peter Matson and O. J. Ostensoe. 

NORMAN COUNTY FARM BUREAU. 

At the time the war broke out Norman County was without a County Agent. 
In order to increase food production and help win the war the County Commis- 
sioners were asked by the Federal Government to employ a County Agent. The 
Commissioners realized that this was one way to help win the war and the money 
was appropriated. County Agent Brandt was therefore employed and his work to- 
wards winning the war should be mentioned.

One of the projects that was of great benefit in increasing the wheat yield was 
the tcstinjj and adjusting of the threshing machines of the county. A goodlv number 
of bushels of wheat were saved in this manner. 

The securing and placing of farm labor was an important work of the farm bu- 
reau during the war. A large number of laborers were imported and placed on the 
farms by the count\ agent. The labor situation reached its most acute stage at har- 
\cst time in 1918 and it became the duty of the county agent to marshall what was 
called the "shock troops." from the stores and business places of the villages of the 
county. Dozens of business and professional men who had not shocked grain for years, 
or who had never done so, were put to work to save the wheat crop. 

In addition to this the Farm Bureau co-operated in the various Liberty Loan. Red 
Cross and other activities and was a considerable factor in the success of these drives.

CO. E. ELEVENTH BATTALION INFANTRY, MINNESOTA HOME GUARDS. 

In the spring of 1'J17, when the National Guard Companies were called into the 
federal service, the Minnesota Home Guards were organized for home service to take 
the place of the National Guards. The membership was to be such men who had not 
been called into the federal service. The matter was agitated in Ada in the fall of 
1917 and an organization formed independently of the State Organ-zation. On 
March 21st, 1918, the Company was formally sworn into the state organization as 
Company E. of the Eleventh Battallion by Major Loring of Crookston. 

The Company was never called into active service, but did perform a valuable 
service in several ways. Twenty-three of its members afterwards entered the fed- 
eral service and it was in the Home Guard Company that they first obtained the rudi- 
ments of their military training. It was a valuable aid to them and helped in several 
cases in their gaining promotion. 

It was deemed necessary during the war time to patrol the streets of .Ada at 
night so as to guard the grain elevators and for several months a detachment of the 
Home Guards were on this duty every night. 

Squads from the Home Guards on several occasions made it possible that de- 
ceased sold'ers from the county being buried with military honors. 

The company raised money for the purchase of their uniforms by giving enter- 
tainments, by the Home Guard Carnival at the County Fair in July, 1918, and in 
various other ways, so that the people of the state were not to one cent of expense 
for their services. 

The roster of Company E'. is as follows:

Much credit must be given to Capt. Tenney for his untiring efforts in behalf of 
the company. It was through his capable handling of the men that a creditable pro- 
ficiency in drilling was obtained. 

Not all of the members resided in .Ada. Some were farmers and a platoon was 
from Lockhart.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR 

INTRODUCTION. 

YEARS will elapse before the history of the world war, 1914-1919, can be written. 
It was so vast and involved such tremendous issues, such a number of nations, 
that the mere compilation of all the material necessary will require the combined 
efiFofts of historians in many lands. It will not, indeed, be possible for the present 
generation to form definite views concerning the war — that will be left to a later age 
which will be able to judge in a calmer mood than are any writers now. For it is not 
too much to say that no really neutral author can be found who is in a position to give 
that strictly unbiased and unimpeachably correct description of the war which blind 
Justice and all-seeing History unite in relentlessly demanding. Besides, the mere 
physical fact of getting all the requisite intimate and detailed information is so gigantic 
that it cannot be accomplished by any single indi\ idual were he to live a hundred years. 

So, for tlie time being the sole object must be to give a condensed sketch of the 
most colossal event which History has recorded. An array of facts is already available, 
and among them are some outstanding and especially conspicuous features which, as it 
were, form the skeleton of it all. When attention is called to some of these, memory 
will almost automatically recall a mass of those seemingly insignificant details that 
must needs be omitted from a very brief account. 

It is possible now to forecast with some accuracy the main lines of future 
research with respect to the war: Undoubtedly it will be found that the entire period 
divides itself into three distinct and sharply defined sections, and for the purpose of 
the present sketch that outline will be adopted here. 

Presumably historians of the future will speak about three periods of the war. 

The first will consist of the thirty-two months from the outbreak of the European 
conflict to April 6, 1917, when the United States Covernment declared war against 
the then imperial German Government. Everyone now agrees that this red-letter day 
in American history marks the beginning of an entirely new epoch in the history of 
the world war, and that the turning point of the entire conflict dates from that 
portentous Good Friday. 

The second period covers the nineteen months between the American declaration 
of war and the signing of the armistice agreement between the Allied and associated 
governments on one side and Germany on the other. During this period the really 
decisive fighting took place, the climax being reached when the German legions after 
their supreme efforts in March, 1918, were thrown back by Allied and American 
armies all over northern France and Flanders. 

At the end of the second period tlie generals and the rank and file of the armies 
almost disappear from view: The diplomats hold the stage during the third period 
which began when the last shot of the war was fired and which ended on June 28, 
1919. when defeated Germany accepted the peace terms imposed upon her by the 
conquerors. 

In the following sketch an attempt will be made to tell the story of the first period 
in as general a way as possible and with the omission of a number of details which 
are important but which will be properly discussed in the standard works that will be 
written in the future. 

Special emphasis will be placed upon the story of the second period because that 
is essentially America's, and in the outline of the events of the third period only leading 
facts pertaining to the peace negotiations will be stated. 

Such is the aim, and such is the scope, of the following summary which makes 
no pretensions and which seeks to provide only a connective record of some of those 
countless major events which made up the greatest of all dramas enacted upon the 
eternal stage of History. 



— 121 — 



(From the Outbreak of the IForld War to April 6, 1917) 

The outbreak of the world war was not, strictly, due to the mere accident of the 
killing of the Austrian archduke, Francis Ferdinand, but that assassination became 
the climax of a series of events which had gradually led up to the crisis. In a measure, 
the war may have been unavoidable because diplomatic complications had develoi ed 
beyond the control of one single power or one group of powers. Yet, this supposition 
does not eliminate the established fact that the Austro-Hungarian government precipi- 
tated the war by dispatching on July 23, 1914, one of the most brutal diplomatir 
nates known to history: It was addressed to the Serbian government which complied 
with almost every demand presented, but refused to compromise when the issue 
narrowed down to one of national honor and self-respect. 

Should Austria-Hungary, now defunct, plead anything by way of e.xtenuation 
it might be by referring to the fact that imperial Germany was prompting and coaching 
the Vienna government, and that the initial guilt rests with the Prussian war lords. 
Even if that is generally conceded, Austria cannot effectively shield herself behind 
an excuse for her weakness. 

In other words, secret diplomacy, subtle intrigues in the chancelleries of Europe, 
and general lust for increased power had prepared the way for a crisis — and that crisis 
was, in the final analysis, brought about by the ruthless machinations of Austria and 
Germany. There is no escape from these damaging facts, and future historians, 
viewing the world war with less prejudice than may now be existent, undoubtedly 
will point an accusing finger at the military cliques at Vienna and Berlin, thus con- 
firming what seems to be at the present time a verdict which cannot reasonably be 
considered debatable. 

Serbia's proud refusal to accede to Austrian propositions caused a declaration of 
war to be issued at Vienna against the Serbian nation on .Tuly 28. Three days later 
Russia began to mobilize her armies and on August i used this as a pretext for declaring 
war against Russia. On the same day the German armies inxaded Luxembourg; on 
August 2 Germany demanded unobstructed passage of her troops through Belgium, and 
declared war on France August 3. The following day Great Britain demanded that 
Germany respect the neutrality of Belgium, and as no guarantee in that respect was 
forthcoming. Great Britain issued a declaration of war against Germany. Many other 
declarations of war were made during the early part of August so that when the first 
British troops landed in France August 16, and when Russia two days later began an 
invasion of East Prussia, the greatest part of Europe had been plunged into the abyss 
of war. 

Was all this due to Germany's and Austria's attitude? 

Let us see: 

We know from published diplomatic records that Sir Edward Grey on July 27, 
proposed a conference for the possible solution of the Serbian problem ; the meeting 
was to be held by the German and Italian ambassadors to Great Britain — friends of 
Austria — and the French ambassador and Sir Edward Grey on the other side as friends 
of Russia. France, Russia and Italy accepted the British proposal, but Germany 
declined, without consulting Austria, to participate on the exceedingly flimsy ground 
that "she could not summon Austria before a European tribunal to settle a dispute with 
Serbia." Against this specious argument Sir Edward advanced the assertion that no 
attempt was to be made in the direction of arbitration, but that only a private and 
informal discussion was sought. But Germany persisted in her refusal to take part 
in the conference. 

Recalling these well-authenticated facts, hoiv can anyone doubt ivhere the original 

guilt lies? 

Other proposals for averting the war were formulated, but Germany and Austria 
were obdurate in claiming that the issues involved could be settled only by the sword. 
And vet we have in the unpleasant, but instructive revelations of Prince Lichnowsky, 
German ambassador at London in 1914, a declaration to the effect that it would have 
been easv to find an acceptable solution of the problem — if not the Berlin government 
had made it clear that it ivanted war and nothing else. 



122- 



DiplonKitic negotiations were carried on with astounding swiftness in those excit- 
ing days, and as soon as all efforts had proved futile, the guns hcgan u, speak where 
the diplomats left off. <- i 

By reason of her then superior military forces and equipment, perfected durintr 
many >ears for this purpose, (.erm.iny was able to make immense progress in the field 
In the first three weeks of August Ik-lgium was overrun; Liege, Brussels and Namur 
captured, and Louvam with its ancient university and librarv reduced to ruins and 
ashes; the English made their famous Mons-Charleroix retreat, and in East Prussia 
the Russians were defeated at Tannenberg. At the same time the German legions 
advanced so close to Pans that the French government removed its personnel and 
arcliues to iiordeaux. 

At the battle of the Marne, September 6-10, the Germans iiad reached the 
extreme point of tbeir advance and were driven back decisiveh- b^ the Frencl, from 
he Marne to the Aisne river On September 7, the Germans took Maubeuge, and 
October 9, the immense fortifications of Ant^verp were stormed bv the Germans who 
here used their giant siege guns for the first time. The Belgians remo^•ed ' their 
government to the French city of le Havre, and on the same dav Ghent was occupied 
by the invading foe. In the latter part of October the battle of Yser, extending over 
nvelve days, was fought with the result that French and Belgian troops stopped the 
German advance toward the Channel ports. In Poland the Germans also were driven 
nacK. 

•n rJtr ^Tc'^'-' was uslK-red in by a British naval victory over a German squadron 
in the North Sea and by Germany proclaiming a "war zone" in certain waters 
surrounding the British Isles. It was on this latter occasion that the United States 
Government issued a note holding Germanv to strict accountabilitv if anv American 
merchant vessel were destroyed or any American citizens killed in conscpience of the 
licrman \\ar zone proclamation. 

On land, German luck was waning: The British captured Neuve-Chapellc in 
March : Russians took Przemysl, and at the second battle of Yser,— April 1 7-Mav 17 
—the Germans failed in their desperate attempt to pierce the British lines 

VVhen German submarines attacked and sunk the Cunard line passenger steam- 
ship, Lusitani.-i on May 7, killing wantonly 1.1S+ persons, among them manv 
women and children, a turning point in the war had been reached because this single 
act, drastically conhrmmg all former reports of unexcelled atrocities in Belgium and 
I- ranee, eventually brought the United States into the war by reason of the fact that 
114 of the persons killed aboard the steamer were American citizens. The diplomatic 
correspondence between Washington and Berlin concerning the sinking of the 
Lusitania was one of the notable features of the year. 

In other respects, Germany was again favored bv the luck of war- The Bilti, 
provinces were successfull\- invaded : Przemysl xvas retaken : Lemberg ;vas capture, 
for the second time by Austrians and Germans; Russian Poland was conquered- n 
1-rench offensive to demolish the German lines in Champagne was a failur- an.! 'in 
the early davs of December Serbia was completely vanquished bv the combined 'armies 
ot Austria, Germany and Bulgaria. 

The year 1916 began with the British evacuation of Gallipoli and the fall of the 
Montenegrin capital— but it also witnessed Germanv's costiv and futile five-months' 
attempt to^ capture the French fortified city of Verdun. The greatest na^•aI battle in 
the world s history was fought in the North Sea off the Danish coast bet^^-een the 
Kritish and German navies, the latter retreating from the fight. The summer's battle 
at the Somme where Allied attempts to break through the German lines were made 
in vam. was offset b>- a great Italian offensive which succeeded in driving out the 
Austrians, and in the capture of Gorizia. At about the same time Roumania entered 
the war on the side of the Allies and was speedilv defeated bv the Teutons 

_ Shortly before Christmas, 1016, Germany surveved the situation and found that 
It justified an offer of peace to enemies whom she arrogantlv thought defeated Once 
"lore the diplomats spoke. Chancellor v. Bethmann-HolKveg declared in the German 
-penal diet that his government was ready to "talk peac-e," and six davs later

statement of their war aims. The upshot of the correspondence was that the Allies 
curtly rejected the German offer as "empty and insincere," and that they informed 
the American president that they wanted restorations, reparation, and indemnities. 

Baffled in their peace manoeuvers the Germans in January, 191 7, issued their 
decree establishing the fact that from now on they were to wage unrestricted sub- 
marine warfare against foes and neutrals alike. This step led to President Wilson's 
dismissal of Count Johann v. Bernstorff as German ambassador to the United States, 
and his asking the consent of Congress to arm American merchant vessels; at the 
same time the president made it clear that although the nation's patience was approach- 
ing the breaking point, only an overt act on the part of Germany could cause American 
wnr participation. 

Early in the j'ear a revolution broke out in Russia, the government of the Czar 
collapsed, and after this Russia was virtually out of the war. Among other leading 
events of the spring of 191 7 was the State Department's exposure of official German 
attempts to persuade Mexico to fight the United States in behalf of the German cause, 
in the event that the American republic should declare war. 

On April 2, Congress convened in extraordinary session "because," as President 
Wilson said, "there are serious, very serious, choices of policy to be made and made 
immediately." In his famous message delivered that day the American executive asked 
Congress to declare a state of war against the German government because it "had put 
aside all restraints of law and humanity" by repeatedly killing American citizens and 
destroying American shipping upon the high seas. It was in this message that the 
president coined the American war slogan: "The world must be made safe for 
democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. 
We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquests, no dominion." 

After a heated debate in the Senate as well as in the House of Representatives, 
the resolution declaring a state of war with Germany, was passed, and immediately 
signed by President Wilson. 

SECOND PERIOD 

(From the American Declaration of War to November 11, 1918) 

The American declaration of war was signed and became effective on C-iood 
Friday, April 6, 191 7, and steps were immediately taken to participate actively in 
the fighting. First of all, German vessels lying in American ports were taken over 
by the American government, many of them having been partly destroyed by their 
crews before the moment of temporary confiscation (which, by the way, in the end 
proved permanent). Legislation creating an army by the compulsory military service 
system through a method of selection was passed by Congress, and with incredible 
swiftness the huge war machinery of America was put together and set in motion. 

About four million men served in the United States army during the period of 
the war with Germany ; the total numbers of those bearing arms in all the forces of 
the country, including the army as well as the navy, the marine corps, and other 
branches, was approximately 4,800,000 so that practically 5 per cent of the population 
of the country was armed for the fight. 

A noteworthy feature of the beginning of the American-German war was the 
spontaneous enthusiasm with which men everywhere declared their willingness to bring 
the supreme sacrifice for the cause of their country and for the ideals to which that 
nation solemnly had declared its unswerving adherence. That spirit endured through- 
out the entire war period and manifested itself not only on the battlefield, aboard the 
vessels of the navy and in the training camps, but also among the organizations which 
came to be known as the civilian auxiliaries of the armed forces. Moreover, the spirit 
of enthusiasm was plainly evident in the attitude of that immense part of the popula- 
tion which, for a variety of reasons, must needs stay at home to perform that work 
which made the military and naval operations possible. 

At the outbreak of the war, the country's male population was about 54,000,000 ; 
during the war about 26,000,000 either registered for military or naval service or 
served without being registered ; in other words, almost half the country's male 



— 124- 



population stood ready to fight or was just about to take part in the fighting. 

German inih'tary experts figured that America could never ''amount to much," 
as they sneeringly remarked. It might be possible, some of them admitted, to get a 
vast number of soldiers, but — "what's the use? They are not trained — they can't 
fight!" The Clerman emperor's remarks about "that contemptible American army" 
were recalled, and Kipling's good-natured sentence in his "American Notes," that the 
Americans "have such a cute little army," was frequently quoted in the German press 
— but not good-naturedly. 

As it came to pass, the Germans not only were forced to realize that the Americans 
were numerous, brave and efficient, but that also the methods of training adopted here 
worked miracles. In the end, it was acknowledged even in Berlin, and even by some 
of the most rabid anti-Americans, that the ultimate defeat on the battlefield was largely 
due to the magnificent work of the American war machinery. 

This is not the place to go into details about the organization of the country's 
armed forces — indeed, the correct details are just now being compiled and tabulated 
at the \Var Department and will not be available for a long time to come. It will 
be sufficient for the purpose here to say that the work of organizing the army on a 
war footing in this country was successfully supplemented by a transport system which 
resulted in bringing more than two million American soldiers across the Atlantic to 
France and Flanders ; also, the task of carrying supplies to maintain and feed the 
immense army was faced and discharged with unprecedented efficieniry and punctuality 
as well as with a thoroughness that overlooked nothing. 

(On the battlefield the summer of 191 7 uas characterized by a series of actions 
which resulted in the successful British storming of \'imy Ridge; the blowing up of 
the Messines Ridge; the battle of Paaschendal, and the Russian retreat and debacle. 
During this period America was organizing, and in the latter part of June the first 
detachment of the American Expeditionary Forces was landed in France under the 
command of General John J. Pershing. 

Tiie American baptismal of fire came on November 3. when a small contingent 
of American soldiers went to the tight — singing and cheering as they \>ent through 
downpouring rain. This was significant of the spirit and the morale of the Americans: 
Even under the most trying circumstances they kept up their high spirits and their 
dauntless courage which the foe, to his sorrow, found he could not destroy. 

The year ended with a British defeat at Cambrai and with the British capture 
of Jerusalem, and in January, 191 8, the first American soldiers were stationed in 
front-line trenches. 

Following the overwhelming defeat which the Russians had suffered in the 
fall at the hands of the Germans, peace was dictated by the victors at Brest-Lit()\sk — 
a peace which the Germans were forced to repudiate when the Allies in turn dictated 
terms to them at Paris in the summer of 1919. 

Russia was out of the game and Germany felt she was ready to stake all on a 
supreme effort to \anquish the rest of the Allied powers. She figured that even though 
America had declared war. and e\en though the Stars and Stripes had appeared on the 
battlefields and over the trenches, there was nothing to worry about. So the German 
general staff designed its plan for a huge attack which was intended to finally rout the 
Allied armies. 

On March 21, 1918, the German offensi\e began, and at tiie same time the 
German artillery opened a useless and wanton fire on the city of Paris. Daily advances 
were made by the Germans, and the entire world followed with bated breath the rapid 
de\eIopments on the battlefield where it seemed that the Allies were compelled to yield 
more and more ground every day. 

Then it happened — what some had suggested should have happened long before — 
that the command of the Allied armies was delegated to one man for the purpose of 
unifying the defense. General Foch — now marshal of France — was appointed the 
supreme commander of all the Allied armies on the western front. Meanwhile, the 
second phase of the German offensive had started early in April on the Armentieres 
front, and six weeks later the third phase of the attack opened at Chemin des Dames, 
the Germans capturing Soissons two days later. 



-125- 



On June 6, the Americans won a signal victory at Chateau-Thierry, forever to be 
remembered in the annals of American history, and the Germans for the first time 
began to realize seriously that their new foes were formidable enough to be reckoned 
with, inasmuch as the Americans were arriving at French ports by the thousands every 
hour. 

Following French counter-blows in the middle of June, the Germans early in 
July opened their final great offensive in the Marne region and four days later Foch 
was ready to begin his ultimately victorious offensive, followed three weeks later by a 
British offensive at Montdidier. Late in August, the British captured Bapaume and 
Mont Kemmel which had been formerly taken by the Germans, and on September i,^, 
the American army found its second opportunity to show what it could do when it 
straightened out the famous St. Mihiel salient which had baffled the trained fighters 
of the European Entente armies for three or four years. The victory was swift and 
complete, and Pershing's fighters were lauded as being among the reallv great heroes 
of the world war. Even the Germans forgot the imperial sneer about the "contemptible" 
American army. 

Barelv two weeks after the St. Mihiel battle, Americans opened the Argonne 
battle which resulted in the Germans retiring hour after hour across ground thev had 
previouslv taken. In the middle of the noise of the fiercest fighting of the war cnme 
an indication that the end was near, for Bulgaria, one of Germanv's allies, found it 
necessary to sign an armistice agreement with the Entente army leaders. Whether or 
not this announcement had anv direct influence upon the soldiers of the Central Powers 
— -it is T fact that from that time on it seemed as though thev had comnletelv lost their 
power of resistance. Onwnrd stormed the American, French and British soldiers. 
St. Quentin was taken. Cambrai was taken and a large number of other strategicallv 
important places followed in short order. At the same time the Italian armv was 
administprinfr defeat to the Austrians who surrendered on November 4. The follow- 
ine dav Pershing's First Armv made g^-eat strides ahead on both banks of the Meuse 
river and *;oon were within five miles of the great trunk line crossincf to Metz. On 
Vo\ember 7. the Americans captured the citv of Sedan, and immediately before the 
armistice with Germany was concluded on November 11. thev took the citv of Stenay. 

When Foch assumed command and when the leaders of the German armies 
realized that it \\-ould be useless to try to stem the tide of the Allied armies thev 
prevailed unon thp Berlin eovernment to open negotiations with a view to brineing 
about bocfilities The direct offer was made October 5 to President Wilson to whom 
an appeal was made urging him to place the armistice offer before the Allies. A series 
of notes were written and dispatched between the European cnoitals and W.Tshineton 
makinp- it clear that the Allies would erant an armistice on condition that the Germans 
immediately retire from all occupied territory and surrender a vast quantity of war 
material so that resumption of military activity would be forever out of the question. 

While American soldiers were contributing on the battlefield to the winning of 
complete victory, thev were ably and consistently supported by what was aptly called 
"the battle lines at home." 

Concerted efforts were made to repress all varieties of pro-Germanism and dis- 
loyalty everywhere in the United States: organizations encouraging patriotism and 
willingness to sacrifice were created in every nook and corner of the land. 

The administration worked hand in hand with the people: The food supplies of 
the country were put under government control, and it was systematically urged upon 
the people that it was imperatively necessary to be frugal and saving in all things. 
Herbert Hoover who had supervised the distribution of food in devastated Belgium 
was made the supreme food administrator in this country which was districted into 
2.600 local sections each with an inspector at its head, supported actively by countless 
voluntary food saving workers. 

Circumstances made it necessary to curtail the home consumption of certain staple 
commodities such as flour and sugar, and the population gener.ally acquiesced in all 
the measures taken because it realized that "food wins the war" almost to the same 



-126- 



extent that efficient armies do. The food saving campaign was organized and more 
than twelve niilh'on food sa\ ing pledges were signed. From 140.000 pulpits ministers 
urged their congregations to be economic, and similar appeals were sent to members of 
more than 190,000 associations, fraternal and social, throughout the country. 

Coal consumption was placed under the control of H. A. Garfield who attempted 
to intensify the production and to minimize the consumption in homes, factories, 
stores and offices. 

For the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the American railroads, the govern- 
ment took over temporarily the vast net of tracks that connect all the sections of the 
country. It was deemed necessary to centralize the management of the roads so as 
to insure at all times ample and swift-working facilities for the transportation of soldiers 
and supplies. For similar reasons, the telegraph and telephone lines were later placed 
under the temporary control of the administration. In these and numerous other 
direct ways the "battle lines at home" supported the actual war work at the front. 

But that support in itself, no matter how indispensible it was, was not •sufficient; 
it was necessary, also, to provide the "sinews of the war," that is, to obtain the money 
necessary for the maintenance of the gigantic war machinery; furthermore, the 
brothers-in-arms of the United States had to be aided with loans. 

For this reason, "Liberty Bonds" were offered to the public; the first, asking for 
the amount of two billion dollars, was opened shortly after the American declaration 
of war; it was taken b\- more than four million people who subscribed not onl\ the 
quota stipulated but also $l.9.^S.226 more. In October, 1917. shortly before American 
soldiers began to take part in the fighting abroad, the government asked that four 
additional billions be loaned it by the people. The response showed an oversubscription 
of $1,617,532,300, and almost nine and a half million citizens, including women and 
children, took part in this loan. 

On the first anniversary of the war declaration. April 6, 1918, the third Liberty 
Loan campaign opened; three billions were asked for this time, and $4,1 76. 516.350 
\\ as lent to the government bv nearlv eighteen million individuals. 

The fourth Liberty Loan campaign was somewhat handicapped by the fact that 
victorv seemed so easily within reach on September 28, 1 91 8. when the campaign was 
started ; a few days later came the German praver for an armistice, and the American 
nation apparently had some difficultv in realizing that it was more necessary than 
ever before to come forward with the money. But it came: The government received 
from 21 million people an excess of nearly one billion dollars over and above the 
quota asked for. 

War Sa\ ings Stamps formed an important factor in tlie financial support which 
the nation gave the fighting hosts abroad, and more than a billion dollars went to the 
country's treasury through this channel. In addition to these activities, private organi- 
zations were immensely diligent and enthusiastic in carrying on the necessarv war work: 

The Young Men's Christian Association sent hut equipments and thous-^nds of 
secretaries and assistants abroad and to the training camps in this country for the pur- 
nose of givine the soldiers access to some of that entertainment and som" of those 
luxuries which thev would otherwise po without. The 'V'oung Women's Christian 
Association did similar work, confinins^ its efforts mainlv to the camns in this country. 

The Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library 
Association, and the War Camp Community Service all worked harmoniously for 
similar purposes here as well as in France. 

The Salvation Army, an international organization whose aim is to carry out 
Christian principles in practice, was among those earliest on the battlefield, and testi- 
mony from all sources indicates that the assistance rendered by this group of servants 
of humanity can never be too higblv pr.iised nor too keenly appreciated. 

But, without attempting to minimize the importance of the work and the 
iiumanitarian efforts exerted bv all other civilian war auxiliaries, no one will doubt 
that the Red Cross was one of the most important of them all. The American Red 
Cross, alwa)-? even in time of peace ready to extend succor to those in distress, found 
its greatest opportimitv vrhcn the Avar broke out, and not only -were thousands of 



— 127— 



nurses sent abroad, but chapters were also organized in every city, town, village and 
hamlet of the country where industrious women spent many hours every day knitting 
sweaters and socks for the soldiers and making numerous other articles which would 
give comfort in the trench and in the camp. 

When the selective service men left their homes, the Red Cross bade them the 
last farewell and put candy and cigarettes in the pockets of the soldiers ; wherever the 
troop trains stopped the Red Cross appeared with coffee, luncheons, and other refresh- 
ments, and when tlie men embarked in the transport vessels, the Red Cross was there 
to see that they wanted nothing. Disembarking in foreign ports, soldiers were met 
by smiling Red Cross representatives speaking to them and cheering them in their native 
English, and if a German shell or bullet hit an American soldier, a Red Cross nurse 
would be at his bedside very soon. In the hospitals and in the trenches. Red Cross 
nurses were seen at all times, and wherever they went, cheerfulness came with them. 
Sometimes it happened that the ability of the surgeon was of no avail, that the mercy 
of the nurse was in vain, that the comforting words of a minister of the gospel were 
not grasped — that death seemed unavoidably near, then it was as a rule a young 
woman dressed in the white gown of universal charity with the cross-shaped emblem 
of mercy sewn to her dress, who sat at the death-bed of the soldier listening to 
the last whispered greeting which he asked the nurse to bring to his dear ones at home. 

It is no wonder that the Red Cross was called "the Greatest Mother in the 
World"! 

In the following tabulation is given a concrete summary of the war activities of 
the United States from April 6, 1917, to November 11, 1918; while some of the

THIRD PERIOD 

(From the Signiiuj of the .Irmisticc to June 2S, IQIQJ 

The armistice concluded on November 11, 19 1 8, between the Allied and associated 
powers and representatives of Germany which a day or two earlier had overthrown 
the Hohenzollern dynasty, meant the practical end of the war although the requisite 
formalities were yet to be discussed. The terms which the Allies imposed upon 
Germany were of such a nature as to preclude absolutely any recurrence of effective 
hostilities. On December 14, the armistice agreement was renewed, again January 17, 
I OKI, and finally February 16, with the understanding that it would remain in effect 
pending the conclusion of the actual jx-ace negotiations opening in Paris the next day. 

President Poincare of France welcomed the delegates of all the belligerent 
countries, and on motion of President Woodrow Wilson, Premier Georges Clemenceau 
of the French republic was made chairman of the conference. 

Thirty-two Allied countries were represented at the meeting; the five leading 
nations. Great Britain. France, Japan, the United States and Italy, were each repre- 
sented by five plenipotentiaries while delegations from other countries comprised two 
or three men. The United States was represented by the President, Secretary of State 



-l2<J-~ 



Robert Lansing, Henry White, former American ambassador at Rome, Col. Edward 
M. House, and General Tasker H. Bliss. A large number of experts — commercial, 
economic, political, etc., — were attached to the American delegation, and also scores 
of clerks and minor functionaries. 

One of the first things the peace conference did was to form a supreme council, 
or a council of ten, including two representatives of each of the five major powers. 
Later on, this council was divided in two parts, namely, a council of four, comprising 
President Wilson, Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau, and Orlando, and a council 
of foreign ministers. 

During the early part of the negotiations a proposal was sent from the conference 
to all Russian factions to meet on Prinkipo Island in an endeavor to bring order out of 
the chaos which had reigned for many months in Russia. The plan had to be 
abandoned, however, because it was impossible to persuade the Russians of the impera- 
tive necessity of taking steps toward ending the strife. 

Following a series of preliminary discussions, the first actual step in the direction 
of formulating the peace treaty was taken January 24, when the conference agreed 
to a plan for the organization of an international League of Nations, and a committee 
was appointed to draw up a covenant. This was completed and reported to the con- 
ference on February 14, and on the following day President Wilson left for the United 
States, returning to France one month later. During his absence the peace conference 
had continued its work and made considerable headway. 

In the beginning of April the important question of stipulating the reparation 
demands which were to be presented to Germany, was settled, and April 16, Germany 
was invited to send delegates to Versailles. 

The peace conference then took up the matter of a treaty with Austria. Italy's 
delegation insisted upon obtaining control of the formerly Austrian city of Fium°. and 
on this occasion the American president issued a statement announcing that the Treaty 
of London (April 26, 1915), by the terms of which Italy had entered the war. had 
become inoperative at the conference, and that Fiume in spite of the pro-Italian 
plebiscite of its people in the fall of 1 91 8, should be given to Croatia. Following this 
statement Premier Orlando left Paris for Rome, and for more than a wck thereafter 
the Italian delegation completely absented itself from the conference. The Italians 
returned, however, to be present at the later important happenings of the conference. 

On April 28, the revised covenant of the League of Nations was adopted; certain 
modifications had been made so as to meet American demands for recognition of the 
validity of the Monroe Doctrine, but even though this concession had been made, 
discussion of the League continued in America throughout the entire summer of igiq. 

The Chinese province of Shantung was disposed of two days later when the 
supreme council voted to turn it over to Japan on assurances that it would be given 
to China later. This decision, also, caused subsequent discussion in the LInited States 
where viewpoints were rather conflicting, in the Senate as well as in the press. 

Following two weeks of heated debate in Germany, that country finally made 
up its mind to appoint a peace delegation whose members arrived at Vet'^ailles and 
presented their credentials to the conference on May i ; Count v. Brockdorff-Rrntz.-u 
was the head of the delegation which was recognized by the Allied and associated 
powers only when it had been made perfectly clear that it was fully authorized to 
act in the name of the German republic. 

History sometimes is unconsciously artistic in arranging events and their climax — 
so it came about that one of the most dramatic moments of the world war arrived on 
the very anniversary of the torpedoeing of the Lusitania: That steamer was sunk by 
German submarines on May 7, 1915 — and May 7, 19.19. Germany's representatives 
received from the hands of the country's conquerors the most humiliating terms upon 
which a vanquished foe had ever been invited to conclude peace! 

The arrogant pride of imperial Germany had been subdued: In the very palace 
where 48 years earlier a German emperor had dictated his terms to surrendering 
France, German delegates now stood with the text of the peace treaty in their hand. 



-1,^0 



fully conscious that that treaty sealed the doom of the erstwhile political and military 
power of the fallen colossus. 

Premier Clemenceau had gi\en the Germans to understand that there would be 
no opportunity for \erbal discussions; if the\- had any su};t;estions to make, they would 
be carefully and fairly considered, but they must be submitted in writing. The 
Germans took advantage of this offer to the very limit, and showered note after note 
upon the peace conference asking for modifications here and concessions there; on 
various occasions they even thought themselves called upon to criticize the peace terms. 

For a period of about six weeks notes were exchanged between the Germans and 
the Allies, with the result that some slight changes were incorporated in the peace 
treaty which, in its revised form, was handed to Count v. Hrockdortf-Rantzau on 
June 16. 

Having received the final peace terms, and having been given to understand that 
future petitions for modifications would be ignored, the German peace delegation 
betook itself to the city of Weimar, temporarily the capital of the German republic. 
The document containing the immense array of humiliating details was submitted to 
the German National Assembly, and although there was in that body as well as 
among the people generally a very strong disposition to reject the treat)-, calmer views 
prevailed, m ith the result that on Sunday, June 22, the assembly authorized the signing 
of the treaty by a vote of 2?7 to 138. The day before, the crews of the interned 
German warships at Scapa Flow, Fngland, had scuttled their vessels, most of which 
sank with the German flag unfurled from the mast. 

Saturday, June 28, the peace treaty, containing 448 separate articles, was solemnly 
signed by all the delegates of the Allies (except China) and Germany, and thus peace 
was officially reestablished on the fifth anniversary of the assassination of Crown 
Prince Francis Ferdinand of Austria. Theoretically, peace did not become effective, 
however, until the treaty had been ratified by the legislati\e bodies of some of the 
nations involved, but in actual practice, the treaty took immediate effect, the trade and 
communication channels closed or obstructed during the war reopening immediately 
upon the announcement that the war had ended.

cheered. American flaKs were raised by the 
soldiers over their dujrouts and Kuns and at the 
various headquarters. Individual jrroups unfurl- 
ed the Stars and Stripes, shook hands and cheer- 
ed. Soon afterward they were preparinf; for

breakfasted early in anticipation of what they 
considered the (jreatest day in American history. 

— Mons was taken by the British, and from Beltriuni 
to the Meuse the German line was near collapse 
before the .Mlied forces Kot orders to stop punish- 
ing the foe. The latest British report says: "At 
the cessation of hostilities this morning we

— Latest advices from Germany show that while 
desultory fighting is occurring in Berlin, and that 
naval mutineers are refusing to yield to any 
authority, the Socialist (Government is proceed- 
ing toward full control. All factions of the 
Socialists are apparently working in unison and 
the ultraradical, or so-called Bolshevist element, 
has gained great recognition. The agreement 
which has been reached between the Socialist and 
Independent Socialist Parties and the new re- 
gime seems to have secured .<;upport from the 
press. In addition to the Wolft:' Bureau, the 



Socialists are now represented by 3 newspapers, 
the Vorwaerts, the Lokal-Anzeiger, formerly the 
Emperor's favorite newspaper and now rechrist- 
ened the Red Flag, and the former semi-official 
organ, the North Gazette, which has taken the

mon to all free peoples."

dustries Board began to lift the restrictions on 
building material so that the country can re- 
turn to a peace basis gradually. He announced 
the reversal of priorit- orders respecting com- 
modities that had been curtailed for the war. The 
action of the War In<iustries Board is a first step 
to be followed as quickly as it is deemed advis- 
able by others. 

— Secretary Mc.\doo announced a 75 per cent, re- 
duction in Government war risk insurance rates 
on hulls, cargoes and seamen's insurance. This 
made the rate on ships and cargoes through the 
war zone '/4 of 1 per cent., instead of 2 per 
cent, with other rates cut accordingly. Treas- 
ury officials explained that, although the sub- 
marine has been abandoned, risk still exists on 
account of floating mines and the possibility that 
some submarines may run amuck.

Wilson's Fourteen Points 



On January 8, 1918, President Wilson, in an ad- 
dress to a joint session of Congress named fourteen 
points as essential in a consideration of peace. 
The fourteen points he stated as follows. 

I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at; 
after which there shall be no private international 
understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall 
proceed always frankly and in the public view. 

II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the 
seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and 
in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole 
or in part by international action for the enforce- 
ment of international covenants. 

III. The removal, so far as possible, of all econ- 
omic barriers and the establishment of an equality 
of trade conditions among all the nations consent- 
ing to the peace and associating themselves for its 
maintenance. 

IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that 
national armaments will be reduced to the lowest 
point consistent with domestic safety. 

V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impar- 
tial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a 
strict observance of the principle that in determin- 
ing all such questions of sovereignty the interests 
of the populations concerned must have equal 
weight with the equitable claims of the Government 
whose title is to be determined. 

VI. The evacuation of all Russian territory, and 
such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia 
as will secure the best and freest co-operation of 
the other nations of the world in obtaining for her 
an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for 
the independent determination of her own political 
development and national policy, and assure her of 
a sincere welcome into the society of free nations 
under institutions of her own choosing; and, more 
than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that 
she may need and may herself desire. The treat- 
ment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the 
months to come will be the acid test of their good 
will, of their comprehension of her needs as distin- 
guished from their own interests and of their in- 
telligent and unselfish sympathy. 

VII. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must 
be evacuated and restored without any attempt to 
limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common 
with all other free nations. No other single act 
will serve as this v^iW serve to restore confidence 
among the nations in the laws which they have 
themselves set and determined for the government 
of their relations with one another. Without this 



healing act the whole structure and validity of in- 
ternational law is forever impaired. 

VIII. All French territory should be freed and 
the invaded portions restored ; and the wrong done 
to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of 
Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of 
the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, 
in order that peace may once more be made secure 
in the interest of all. 

IX. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy 
should be effected along clearly recognizable lines 
of nationality. 

X. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose 
place among the nations we wish to see safeguard- 
ed and assured, should be accorded the freest op- 
portunity of autonomous development. 

XL Rouniania, Serbia and Montenegro should 
be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia 
accorded free and secure access to the sea, and the 
relations of the several Balkan states to one another 
determined by friendly counsel along historically 
established lines of allegiance and nationality; and 
international guarantees of the political and econ- 
omic independence and territorial integrity of the 
several Balkan states should be entered into. 

XII. The Turkish portions of the present Otto- 
man Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty 
but the other nationalities which are now under 
Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted secur- 
ity of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity 
of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles 
should be permanently opened as a free passage to 
the ships and commerce of all nations under iiiter- 
national guarantees. 

XIII. An independent Polish state should be 
erected vi'hich should include the territories in 
habited by indisputably Polish populations, which 
should be assured a free and secure access to the 
sea, and whose political and economic independence 
and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by 
international covenant. 

XIV. A general association of nations must be 
formed, under specific covenants, for the purpose 
of affording mutual guarantees of political inde- 
pendence and territorial integrity to great and 
small states alike. 

Mr. Wilson's declaration of fourteen peace points 
was made a day after the British Prime Minister, 
David Lloyd George, had stated in a public addres? 
to the trades unions what his country considered a 
basis for peace discussion.

IN CONCLUSION. 

While the task has been long, much longer than we imagined when we entered 
upon it, it has been a pleasant one. 

We have made errors, there are omissions, but we ask your pardon in view of 
the size of the task. 

We were inspired by the thought that it was a good work and one that should 
be done. In the department devoted to those who lost their lives in the service we 
have been extremely diligent to see that none were omitted as we felt that here was 
the place to record for all time those who made the extreme sacrifice for their coun- 
try. Some over 800 of our boys marched away to war and about 63 did not return. 
That their heroism should never be forgotten we have compiled this volume.
